I have stopped using Dstv since February this year.


Am not subscribing to them again, I think some Nigerians are yet to realise how hard its when you subscribe and still buy fuel to watch those channels and the worst of it all is the repetition of programs.


Funny enough in this midst of this sufferings we go through as Nigerians they still make life unbearable by their unreasonable price increase TOO BAD.


And their customer care will not stop calling your phone encouraging you to subscribe as if they are not sensitive to this harse economy realities or as if they don't know what we are passing through.

If south Africans boycott their services na we go embrace am?


I rest my case

Interesting....l subbed my Gotv for #5100 last Monday.... something that was #4200 last month...the girl shocked me further when she told me that a Gotv decorder goes for 50k now... something l bought for #4500 way back in 2015 with one month free subscription oo when l was still in the uni...
Worse part is that the only channel l watch on Gotv these days is only Aljazeera news and sometimes football on Super Sports select finish...when I'm not busy working oo....all other channels are wack!!!
I asked the girl about startimes decorder...she told me it goes for only #13500 and with a sub of less than 4k l can enjoy better channels...
Please anyone that uses Startimes here...does it show Aljazeera news?
This Gotv don tire me...l wan port to Startimes!

Since you enjoy watching Aljazeera, you can still watch it on GOtv Smallie of N1,575. Just downgrade to that package and save some cash.

startimes shows Aljazera but you won't get any premiership game. I will advise you to get the antenna if you reside in Lagos.

I discouraged all my (7) neighbors and colleagues in the office from renewal of their DStv subscriptions.

I'm still campaigning against DStv anywhere I found myself.

Until DStv introduce Pay As You Watch. How can I subscribe only to travel on official assignment after 2 weeks, then came back and watch for just 4 days only for DStv to shut me out telling me to resubscribe.
My brother, let's do more about this matter
If I may ask, what is the way out of this quagmire? , cos I'm planning to port to Startimes

They still have over 8 million subscribers which is more than Nigerian subscribers. Don't get carried away with the word 'DUMP' in the headline. Read the contents.



You are saying that Nigerians only come online to complain, do you have stats of Nigerian DSTV subscribers of 2022 and 2023? No, you don't. You are just making assumptions that they have not lost subscribers in Nigeria.
they lost many subscribers am one them

Nice reviews on your ads. I am still playing around some latest builds on Kodi. That App is loaded with amazing stuff you can't finish exploring if you can get the right setup and strong network.

Since I bought android smart box.

I didn’t think I will subscribe dstv again.

Even in the western world cable tv have lost market share to data tv. Data tv in few years to come will remove cable tv from business. Data tv is the future once smart tv penetrate every household.

Data tv is much more expensive but you ger the quality of service like choice of what you want. And if you are streaming boring movies you can just stop it. You can reverse or forward movie. The control worth the price

Hey chief how can I get this, do you have a plug for this?

buy from konga, jumia or jiji.

Search android tx box. Price ranges and base on 1gb ram to 4gb ram. Anyone below 30k is 1gb ram in respective of what the seller claimed. An app called device info will show actual ram and rom.
